Abstract

In the 1990s, Japanese industry experienced a significant recession. Various types of restructuring were then conducted after the collapse of the bubble economy. Downsizing was inevitable. This situation was a challenge for the practice of long-term employment and the psychological contract which was used by employers. A nationwide survey showed that measures which included voluntary retirement schemes (VRS) were widely used at this time. Wage reforms and the introduction of part-time workers were also common (see Table 3.1).
